This is relativley simple to get around.  on the computer with the
cd-rom run NET ADMIN, and in the drives section press INSERT to add a
new drive.  when it asks for the path, give it the dirve letter of the
CD-ROM.  This is how I did it, file sharing works this way, but
sometimes programs don't believe it's a CD-ROM, so you need a progran
called CDEMU2 (available from SIMTEL.)
